Joel_W Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Dan, Adding paint always makes a huge difference no matter how much nor where. Joel Out2gtcha and Dandiego 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hey everyone. Although all of my pictures have gone bye bye work does continue. I am still taking pictures but have not settled on a new image hosting site yet. Hopefully my son can help me figure the whole stupid thing out. Took me a year to get good at pb.

Joel_W Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Dan, That really sucks. Once you have settled into a new Hosting site, hopefully you'll repost all the pictures in this thread. Joel Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Canopy and wheels painted.. OK first post with imgur! One of our members, lsp Mike, has let me borrow his vintage Mattel vacuform machine. Thanks Mike. My original canopy master was too big to fit the stage so I cut it into 2 pieces. I have primed it and am trying to get a smooth surface in preparation for vacforming. Wheels have been painted black and then masked for the flat aluminum hubs.

Dandiego Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Just a little work on the instrument panel. None of my devices really lets me take closeup photos...sorry. First with a few Airscale decals. Next pretty much finished with some paint. Still getting the hang of imgur. Thats all.

ClumsyDude Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Oooh, wish the photos were a bit sharper! I use my iPhone (it's a 6) - if I tap on what I'm trying to focus on it will sharpen up around that, dunno if that helps? Jim Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Dan, The IP really looks good. as for close up pictures if you don't have a camera that affords you that option. Just about every OS today has some kind of picture editing program. You just need one that lets you crop, Take a picture as close as you can get while making sure it's in proper focus. then crop it after you've uploaded it to your computer.

Dandiego Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Not much to show for the last month. Still struggling with the canopy. A kind LSP'er has offered to make copies from my master, Thanks Lee. Any way I have applied a gloss black coat to spot flaws and to prepare for the Alclad coats to come. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, wingtanks have been glued onto the wings, puttied and sanded. Thanks, Dan Edited August 10, 2017 by Dandiego Rainer Hoffmann, blackbetty, sandokan and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
